Sounds like a good option has anyone ever ordered from that company, what would shipping and price be just for the battery to the USA? Thanks
SDS100/SDS200: **SAFETY ALERT** SDS100 battery severely swelled
- Thread starter maus92
- Start date
Will this official Uniden EU Distributor even ship Uniden parts to USA?
I may have to revise that. It shows the SDS100 and SDS100E have different model numbers for the small battery. I wonder what the difference is?
Note 1:
BT-953 = p/n for battery in USA model SDS100
BT-956 = p/n for battery in EU model SDS100E
Yes I bought a charging tray off of them for a 296d battery.
I saw that as well and wondered the same... interesting. Maybe the EU version does not "swell" up!
240v requirement maybe for EU battery.
Thanks for the info, good to know for those interested.
You would not think that would make a difference. The battery cell is still the same voltage regardless.
Possibly one carries a different certification than the other would be my guess.
Yes so that certification would be the requirement.
I don't think any of the models had any certification or underwriting marks printed on them.
Interestingly, the link to Servicedocs shows pictures and they are for the US BT-953 model and not the BT-956 model.
I wonder if the 956 part number is different because it includes the cover? The listing does not indicate that however. Oh well, good find KevinC!
Yes, in the description for the Euro battery they state "non-swelling version". Apparently the US part number is the "swelling version". Those Europeans are always one step ahead of us.

There is a small battery and cover on eBay, $49.

I will look into doing that, but since I believe I'm the first and only RR user to post something like this I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's very uncommon. Make that EXTREMELY uncommon.
SDS100/SDS200: - **SAFETY ALERT** SDS100 battery severely swelled
ALCON: I was cleaning up my office work table and noticed that my original skinny battery supplied with my SDS100 was severely swelled. The battery was sitting in its original battery cover in the open in a temperature stable office environment. It has not been used or charged since I swapped...

I stand corrected. One other user with an original small battery. Any others?
Read the thread, multiple people reported having this happen to them.

Are there different safety concerns when disposing/recycling of a swollen battery vs. one that is not swollen?
